About this episode

The episode discusses the dangers of lithium-ion battery fires on airplanes and the chain reaction that can occur when they ignite.

This week, we flashback to the fear burning a hole in your pocket. Chris and Ed dig into the growing danger of lithium-ion battery fires aboard airplanes, why these everyday devices can suddenly enter a terrifying chain reaction, and what happens when one ignites thousands of feet in the air.
